Social cognition refers to a range of processes that allow us to make sense of others' behaviors and engage in daily interactions. A key network supporting social cognition is the mirror neuron system (MNS), a set of fronto-parietal regions that allows inferring others' intentions through action observation. The MNS exhibits considerable plasticity based on an individual's motor repertoire, but little is known about its potential for reorganization in the presence of brain damage. To address this gap, we investigated the adaptive capacity of the MNS in patients with gliomas affecting key netwo
